| Summary | "The Nineteenth and Their Times" by J. Biddulph is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The text chronicles the history of the four cavalry regiments in the British Army that bore the number Nineteen, detailing their formation, significant campaigns, and military evolution through various critical historical epochs, particularly focusing on their involvement in battles across India and North America. The opening of the book sets the stage by introducing the first Nineteenth regiment, raised in Ireland during a tumultuous period marked by the Seven Years' War. The preface outlines the regiment's transformations over time, including its disbandment and reconstitution under different titles, and highlights the key battles and significant figures associated with their campaigns, such as the conflicts in Southern India against Tippoo Sultan and their role during the War of 1812. This beginning provides readers with an understanding of the regiment's storied past and positions it within the broader historical narrative of British military history.
